TheFootball Association of Ireland Senior Challenge Cup[1] (FAI Cup), known as theSports Direct FAI Cup[2] for sponsorship reasons, is a knock-outassociation football competition contested annually by teams from theRepublic of Ireland (as well asDerry City fromNorthern Ireland). Organised by the FAI (Football Association of Ireland), the competition is currently sponsored bySports Direct. It was known as theFree State Cup from 1923 to 1936.Shamrock Rovers hold the record of most wins with 25.

The current holders areDrogheda United F.C. who won their 2nd title on 10 November 2024, defeatingDerry City F.C. 2-0 atAviva Stadium.

Venues

[edit]

Since the early 1920s until the 1980s, all but a handful of FAI Cup finals were held atDalymount Park, Dublin. Two replays in the 1920s were held atShelbourne Park, the 1973 replay was held inFlower Lodge in Cork and the 1984 replay was inTolka Park. However, since 1990, due to the lack of development of Dalymount, the final has been played at a number of different venues. From 1990 until 1997 it was played atLansdowne Road stadium, from 1997 to 1999 back at Dalymount, from 1999 to 2002 atTolka Park and from 2003 to 2006 back at Lansdowne Road. Due to the redevelopment of Lansdowne, the 2007 and 2008 finals were played at theRDS Arena. The 2009 final took place inTallaght Stadium. Finals from 2010 onwards take place at theAviva Stadium.

History

[edit]

Shelbourne,Bohemians andDerry City are the only clubs to have won both the(Northern) Irish Cup and the FAI Cup, although Shelbourne and Bohemians only won it beforepartition, while Derry City remained in theNorthern Irish league system until 1973, entering the League of Ireland in 1985.Alton United based in Belfast and Derry City are the only sides from outside the Republic of Ireland to win the competition.

Athlone Town in 1924,Dundalk in 1958,Shamrock Rovers in 1968 and Sligo Rovers in 2010 are the only sides ever to win the Cup without conceding a goal.

Match programme cover from the 1963 final atDalymount Park

Since 2003, Irish domestic football has moved from the traditional European August–May season to a summer set-up, as favoured in Scandinavia. As an "interim" season was played in the second half of 2002, two FAI Cup Finals took place that year –Dundalk winning in April, and Derry City lifting the trophy in November.

Following the 1985 expansion of the League of Ireland to two Divisions,Bray Wanderers were the first First Division team to win the Cup, defeating non-LeagueSt. Francis in 1990. Bray were also the first team to win the Cup in a season that saw them relegated, in 1999. Dundalk were relegated in 2002 while winning the first of that year's trophies.

After two defeats in Cup Finals in the 1970s,Drogheda United finally reached the summit in 2005. Goals from Gavin Whelan (whose father, Paul, captainedBohemians to the 1992 cup and whose grandfather,Ronnie, won two cups withSt. Patrick's Athletic) and captain Declan O'Brien helped "the Drogs" to a 2–0 win overCork City.

The last soccer game to be played at the oldLansdowne Road was the 2006 final, contested between St. Patrick's Athletic and Derry City, who ran out eventual 4–3 winners after extra-time. The original FAI Cup was also retired after the game with a brand new version of the trophy to be used in the following seasons.

The largest ever win in the competition occurred on 29 November 2020 whenDundalk beatAthlone Town 11–0 at the semi-final stage.[3]

The largest ever attendance at an FAI Cup game was 43,881 people, asSt Patrick's Athletic defeatedBohemians 3–1 in the2023 FAI Cup Final at theAviva Stadium.[4]

Eligibility

[edit]

40 clubs compete in the FAI Cup. All clubs in theLeague of Ireland are automatically eligible. Clubs from Level 3–7 (non-league football) are also eligible provided they qualify from either theFAI Intermediate Cup orFAI Junior Cup competitions in the current season. All participating clubs must also have a stadium suitable for the competition.

The total number of entries in the FAI Cup has changed asNon-League football has gradually been expanded and reorganised over time. In the2022 season, 39 clubs entered the competition. It is very rare for top clubs to miss the competition, although it can happen in exceptional circumstances.

Northern Irish sides that play in Republic of Ireland leagues are eligible. There is only one club currently competing:Derry City.

Qualification for subsequent competitions

[edit]

European football

[edit]

The FAI Cup winners qualify for the following season'sUEFA Europa Conference League. This European place applies even if the team isrelegated or is not in the Republic of Ireland top flight. In the past, if the FAI Cup winning team also qualified for the following season'sChampions League orConference League through their league or European performance, then the losing FAI Cup finalists were given the European berth of the FAI Cup winners. Now the FAI Cup berth is then given to the highest-place team in the league who has not yet qualified. FAI Cup winners enter theUEFA Conference League at the Second qualifying round. Each club that qualifies for the UEFA Conference League gets prize money worth up to 10 million pounds.

Presidents Cup

[edit]

The FAI Cup winners also qualify for the following season's single-matchPresident of Ireland's Cup, the traditional season opener played against the previous season'sPremier Division champions (or the Premier Divisions runners-up if the FAI Cup winners also won the league – thedouble).
